Eight of 10 votes are judicial nominations. A number of our issues were handled in the Senate without recorded votes (e.g., Mt. Soledad was passed by "unanimous consent" procedure; religious discrimination in Head Start has been held up in committee; military proselytizing in the Defense Department bill was taken out prior to a Senate vote; a one-year voucher program for victims of hurricanes Katrina and Rita was passed without a recorded vote; and attempts to extend vouchers for another year were curtailed before they were introduced).
